✗ means the plan doesn't include it or it isn't listed on that service's pricing page. Plans and prices come from each service's own pricing page; "Common complaint" links to the service's Trustpilot reviews, where several recent reviewers raise it. Checked October 26, 2026; prices and features change, so check their sites for the latest. Bitly, TinyURL and Rebrandly are trademarks of their owners; Short Turtle isn't connected with them.
The Free plan has 10 new links/mo, a QR code on every link, click stats and 3 vCards. Your links don't stop when you stop paying: they keep working as long as people use them. Switching? Import your links from Bitly, Rebrandly, TinyURL or a CSV file.
